Intellectual, active and engaged in my community. Retired professional - careers in the practice of law, entrepreneur in the petroleum industry and most recently management in the aerospace industry. World traveler for many years, business and personal travel. Prefer unconventional and non-touristy mode of travel. Very personable - meeting new people and experiencing local culture/cuisine/history/languages are the best aspects of travel. Easy going and very responsible. Retired for less than one year, so I plan to travel much more. Airbnb seems like a great alternative to stuffy, overpriced and crassly commercial hotels.

Reviews From Hosts

John and his wife are polite, good persons, but they are not very tidy. Unfortunately I have found some things broken, and some things in the most unthinkable places (empty wine bottles in the detergent container!!!!!!!).
If they were more ordered, would be good guests.......

It was great having John as a guest in our Venice's apartment.
John left the apartment in great conditions. Very clean and tidy.
I hope to have the opportunity to host John again in the future!
Many thanks John!

I've known John for about 5 years, and I have a tremendous respect for him. He's considerate and I've seen his altruism in action and can attest that he's a true stand up guy. John has a beautiful home and would no doubt be gracious with yours. I'm excited that he's giving the airbnb community a chance!
